Wow. Hope he finds a good situation. McIntosh and Lee were the two redeeming qualities on that team from a personal standpoint. Even if I can't stand the name that was on their jerseys.

Graduate transfer. Can play immediately. Not that it would happen, but I'd love to have him.

Just sayin... couldn't he transfer straight across with no issues now that we are in a new conference?

EDIT: I should clarify this. If we somehow lost Morris or McDuffie, that's where I'm coming from. If everyone is back, and that should be the case, he would need to go somewhere with more minutes available to a player his caliber.

[Aargh]

I'm really going to miss Evansville.



Just kidding!

Now we have to be careful not to get ECU'd. We no longer have Drake on the schedule; now we have Tulane. There will still be reminders of the Valley.

It is my UnderstaNding that there's a gOod chance we may hear something soon.

What a payback this could be for the Teddy Hawkins situation.......Having said that, I don't see him transferring to WSU

Are Valpo, Murray St., And Belmont still being considered?

Hopefully, but Under the circumstaNces, I'm going to assume nOt.

I have a feeling they have declined.

The Valley will fall a tic further next year:

Jim Benson @Pg_Benson

ISU coach Dan Muller said MiKyle McIntosh will declare for NBA Draft and then graduate and transfer if he doesn't go pro.

Don't worry from February 4th to today he's gone from their Savior to their 4th best player according to some of their fans. No big loss

It's no big deal. They lost a player, it's not like getting hit in the head by a shovel.

Those Nebraska women are hot:)

So, the plan was to get into the Chicago market with Loyola, and now possibly get into the KC market with UMKC. What could possibly be wrong with those plans?

I hope such things help enrollment at the wider university level, since there is no evidence that they help in either TV contracts or recruiting.

Mark Adam's tweeting that Valpo will be likely addition and ONLY addition.

This certainly fits the "easy bus ride" model as the MVC's footprint expands further east of the Missouri Valley basin.
